A Parent's Guide to the Summer Holidays 2020 Edition.Pdf Keeping kids occupied during summer holidays can be a challenge, but this summer, many parents are left wondering what to do now that so many usual options are not available. It may come as no surprise that we have also been getting a lot of questions from parents who are concerned about the impacts school closures might have on their children’s academic progress. Naturally, most learning grows in students between fall and spring when they are in school. It’s typical to see a slight dip or plateau in achievement scores between the spring of one year and the fall of the next. This dip is usually greater in students whose families are in lower economic groups for whom resources are reduced. This is known in education research as a ‘summer slide’ or ‘summer slump.’ Recent research has projected that the Reading and Mathematics scores we will see in the grades 3 through 8 fall will be lower than in typical years. This is because the normal ‘summer slump’ in achievement scores may be made worse by the emergency school closures seen this spring. There are some uncertainties about these projections, for example no one knows what the impact of remote learning will be or to what degree social distancing has impacted children’s mindsets. These, as well as some other factors, can affect test scores. Whilst there are some things we can’t predict with certainty and won’t know for some time to come, we do know a few things we can do to mitigate negative effects and accentuate the positive. Children need to feel like they --and their families-- can deal with what’s happening. We know that one of the best ways to help children is to provide the sense of safety and hope and that their trusted adults model calm and connected behaviours. Remembering to take time for ourselves as caregivers and to ask for help when needed is more important now than ever before. A full schedule of practice and revision isn’t necessary for keeping your child on track over the summer. Instead, encourage your child to engage in interesting activities. Reading, listening to audiobooks, exploring new hobbies, and playing games that call on strategic thinking or mathematics skills--these are all good ways to keep literacy and numeracy skills fresh. If you’d like a place to start or need more ideas, here are some resources that are organised by age group and subject that are fun ways to keep kids engaged over the break. Your teacher or school may also have shared links to some programs or activity ideas, too. For older students, there may also be summer reading lists or assignments given by your school and this is not meant to replace those. We have tried to keep the list focused on free resources that align best with our school curricula and ones that we have found particularly good are indicated with a .

  • Summer Is a Great Time to Enjoy Math Games and Reverse the Math
    Summer is a great time to enjoy Math Games and reverse the Math 'Summer-Slide' Children enjoy a long summer vacation and play a lot of internet games on their own. Still they are on the lookout to have fun playing games with other kids or adults. Did you know kids lose on average 10 weeks of math knowledge over the summer? Usually referred to as the 'Math Slide'. There are many fun filled math summer camps that focus on math concepts using games and riddles instead of math facts. You can take action at home too: keep the patterns, shapes and numbers going to make sure kids love math. Enjoy playing board games, card games, dice, and domino games. Kids love to discuss their best strategies and to keep score, a math activity in itself. Hands-on board games are a great way to introduce younger kids to patterns an numbers. You can adapt the games to make sure all kids can participate, consider starting with counting and sorting everyday objects. For best math learning, in general do not emphasize speed until all math facts are memorized and easily retrieved (automatized), better ask what they think and share your strategies. Children enjoy making their own playing cards from note cards. Let them be creative with colored markers making dot patterns, shapes, numbers, money notations etc. use stickers etc. there are endless options, that all will add to the fun. You can use self made cards with dots or numbers or store bought playing cards in various ways to learn numbers, counting, and calculating while playing a game: 1.

  • How Much Does the 24 Game Increase the Recall of Arithmetic Facts?
    How Much Does the 24 Game Increase the Recall of Arithmetic Facts? Jonquille Eley The City College of New York- CUNY In partial fulfillment of the requirements for EDSE 02011 for Dr. Eva Sattlberger December 14, 2009 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT 3 INTRODUCTION 4-6 LITERATURE REVIEW 6-10 SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS 10-11 INTERVENTION 12-18 DATA COLLECTION 15-18 RESULTS 18-23 CONCLUSION 23-26 REFERENCES 26-28 ABSTRACT Sixth grade students come to MS 331 with strong mathematics backgrounds from elementary school. Nevertheless, students often come with a dearth of skills when performing basic math computations. The focus of this study is to investigate the use of the 24 Game in quickening the ability of sixth graders to perform basic computations. The game reinforces skills along with strategy when finding correct solutions. Students practiced the 24 Game largely on homework assignments and to a lesser extent, during instructional time. Students were measured on their ability to compute arithmetic facts on one minute assessments. Each class showed positive growth as the rigor of the quizzes increased due to 24 Game exposure after three weeks. Students who practiced the 24 Game most frequently on their homework scored the highest. Non-participants on average scored lower than participants. The 24 Game creates cooperation, stamina, and excitement through problem-solving. The speed and accuracy of arithmetic skills for sixth grade students improved through the study period. 3 INTRODUCTION Reaching lower-level students in the classroom requires varied instructional techniques. Games in the classroom break the monotony of book work and give students an opportunity to embrace other skill sets.

  • Math Instructors Notes with Math Supplement.Pdf
    Instructor Notes Lesson: Math using common manipulatives in the ABE & GED classroom. Why use manipulatives to teach math? There is a link between seeing math and understanding math. Building with manipulatives incorporates the visual, kinesthetic, figurative, and tactile; Saying taps into the auditory and semantic; Writing teaches the symbolism of math and bridges the concrete and the abstract. The result? When a student sees the numbers on paper (abstract) he or she is able to visualize the concept. Objectives: In this lesson, the participants will: Use common items (many are provided in this kit) in an effort to give students a concrete example of math principles. Utilize various critical thinking skills related to learning about math. Understand the importance of good math skills in everyday life as well as in workplace settings. Reduce stress often associated with learning math concepts by making the lessons interactive and fun. Subjects: math, workplace skills, reading, writing, social studies, and critical thinking Procedure: 1. Humans – the always accessible manipulative! Use the students in class to make bar graphs, walk number lines, or demonstrate commutative and associative properties. Students will remember these concepts when they have fun and move around. 2. Fractions can be difficult to comprehend so some ideas are included in this kit. Use the egg cartons and measuring cups to start the fractions lesson. If you really need a reinforcement activity, splurge on some candy bars! Four sets of laminated make-your-own fraction circles are also included for students to use. 3. Popsicle sticks are a great, inexpensive way to teach place value, carrying, and borrowing.
